I grew up going to this theatre, I actually worked there in 1973-1974, with the late Harold Wolf, who was the manager and projectionist. Harold was the best man. I was the 12-13 yr old usher who every Thursday night changed the marquee out in the parking lot. This was also the first theatre to run all 5 Planet of the Apes movies in one night, sold 500 tickets to a 350 seat theatre. After the Jerry Lewis chain went belly-up the theatre was re-named “The Highland Cinema”
I worked at the Ridge Road Drive In with the late projectionist, Louis Wolf, repairing speakers during the summers 1975 and 1976. Anyone who went to the drive in would also remember, Richie the manager and his unique voice during the intermissions. It was a great drive in.
